The George Inn
The George Inn is one of London's greatest treasures, only surviving galleried coaching inn. It stands on the south side of the River Thames near London Bridge. The George (mentioned in the first map of Southwark, ca1543) was rebuilt in 1676, after a devastating fire swept Southwark. The George is tucked away in a cobbled courtyard just off Borough High Street.
Charles Dickens visited the George and referred to it in 'Little Dorrit'. William Shakespeare was another visitor; the Globe Theatre was a short distance away. Currently owned and leased by the National Trust.
